Small, dog-friendly and family-run farm site five miles from the beach
A 15-minute drive from Craster, Seahouses and Alnwick Castle
Large field for kids and dogs to play; pubs and restaurants nearby

Nearby Northumberland sand, stargazing and plenty of scope for coastal or country walks… what a set of attractions Doxford Farm Camping has. As a small, family-run site five miles from the nearest sandy beach, there’s a lot to like about this place – especially for those who want to stay somewhere that welcomes dogs, children and couples with open arms too. It’s all well-maintained here, and some might say quite on the luxurious side, given that the communal facilities include three large shower rooms each with a large power shower, basin, loo, mirror and hair dryer. So, feel free to dress up for any visits to the local pubs and restaurants within five to 15 minutes’ drive of the site – they sell delicious food locally sourced from the land and sea. What sort of places can you set sail to, then? Low Newton-by-the Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Embleton Bay (15 minutes) are some of the closest sandy stretches. Further out, between 15 minutes and 20 minutes’ drive, are more dog-friendly beaches and coastal havens like Bamburgh, Seahouses, Craster and Beadnell Bay (and Alnwick is 15 minutes’ drive inland for attractions like a castle and a huge second-hand book shop with model trains). Back at your base, which is located on a family-run working farm, there’s heaps of space and peace for walks, stargazing or stopping to smell the large bank filled with daffodils and tulips in the spring or wildflowers and other plants in the summer. There’s a large field for kids, dogs (and any big kids) to let off steam, as well as a pot wash area with a large double sink and hot and cold water to deal with any barbecue leftovers.

There are only a few pitches, but they are nicely spaced out so you have room to spread.

Big skies and plenty of lovely countryside to enjoy.

Our pitch, lots of room and good walks with dog.

Liked: What isn't there to like! Amazing family ran site, immaculately kept, clean facilities, super communication from owner regarding a road closure. Spoke to her one evening with Sid (the teckel!) And she was super personable, engaging with both me and my girls. Ideally located for so many attractions. Felt like home from home and we will definitely be coming back!

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Doxford Farm is a lovely space with modest facilities that do the job nicely and some terrific views. We enjoyed a week there, and found our fellow campsites users to be a pleasant bunch. The shower block has three cubicles with everything you'd need and they are kept nicely topped up. The pitches are well spaced out and it's a nice chilled out atmosphere. There's a nearby fairy/wood walk which is ideal for young kids and they had a few small chickens roaming around who often appeared when we weren't expecting them.

Disliked: It's only a small issue but the site is quite windy. We had some pretty windy days and the geography meant that the site got quite buffeted. But hey, it's the weather, right? Also, there's no wifi, but the 4g signal was reasonable, so another non issue for us.

Liked: Small and pretty rural site with just a handful of pitches alongside glamping tents and lodges. Well maintained. Peaceful and quiet with cute chickens! 3 unisex toilet + shower rooms were spacious and clean enough although could be better ventilated. No staff on site as it is small but very good communication before arrival.

Local attractions

Here primarily for the sea? With sand dunes, castle ruins in the background and a view of Lindisfarne Island, Bamburgh beach (20 minutes’ drive) is a pretty good place to start. Dine on the classic Craster (15 minutes) kippers before taking a fishing trip from the harbour or head for Seahouses (15 minutes) if you fancy spending some time puffin and seal spotting on boat trips to the Farne Islands. Holy Island (35 minutes) is another island destination, accessible by car depending upon the tide, with a huge castle and priory. Compare notes with the castle in Alnwick (15 minutes), which runs re-enactments, jesting and other historical workshops. Leave enough time for an earl grey tea at Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum (15 minutes) too – after all, the earl it’s named after once lived there. Local wedding venues include Doxford Barns (15 minutes’ walk), Charlton Hall (20 minutes), Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa (five minutes’ drive) and Newton Hall (10 minutes).
